“She burned Ramen! How do you burn Ramen!” Noelle says laughing, while Mia was bloody red, smiling widely.
I told them about me when I tried to cook, I confessed that most of the food I made ended up in the trash and Damian had to make food for both him, his mates, along with me. Noelle said she can’t wait to meet Lotus, they were sure they have a lot of stories to share and I agreed with her, they’re going to hit it off right away and we both knew it. If needed, we might call my brother for help, he’s an alpha of our neighboring pack and he’ll stand up for us, we all sat down for dinner like a small family, the whole night, all I was getting were flashbacks from back when Victoria was alive when we sat around the table, all three of us.
“Are you okay, Levent?” Mia asks after dinner was over and I was helping her clean out the dishes and the kitchen.
“It’s like, I pretend to be okay, I smile, I enjoy some of my time, but then…then…” I say with a sigh and she just nods her head at me.
“And then everything come back like a brick wall that’s hitting you right in the face, you have all your happy memories with your mate, while mine are all miserable. Every dinner, I remember him throwing the table over my head, him saying that my food taste like shit, one time he even accused me of trying to poison him,” she says in a sad
voice.
All of her memories were sad ones while mines were filled with Victoria smile, with her laughter, with Flower calling me wolf, it all brought happiness to my heart back then, but not now, not anymore.
“Although you ran away from all the sadness, the memories,” I say and

she nods.
“It’s the same for you, just the opposite, you lost happy moments,” she
says.
“But we’re being hunted by the memories the same way,” I agree with her, we shared the same sad smile, I wanted to excuse myself and leave, but she offered me a glass of whine and the option to sit outside together a bit.
“I can’t say no to you,” I say to her with a small smile, we sat outside the small cabin enjoying our drink, it was really good drink, I didn’t expect her to be buying expensive whine.
“This is good,” I say taking another sip.
“I know, it was a gift from one of your client, I’ll never pay this much for a bottle of whine,” she says making me try to laugh, it doesn’t sound like I’m shocking anymore, but it’s not genuine either.
“Hey, you’re getting your laugh back,” she says with a happily.
“I don’t know how that works, but Beta seems to be able to smile and laugh, maybe it just takes time,” I say to her..
“Can you keep a secret,” she asks me and I nod, of course, I could.
“Of course,” I assure her.
“I’ve been practising my smiling in front of a mirror,” she says making me try to laugh again, that was good.
“I did the same, first time I tried it, I swear people thought I was having a heart attack,” I tell her.
“Can wolves even have heart attacks?” she asks me.

“I don’t know maybe, but if you heard me, you’d think I was.” I say making her try to laugh, now I know how I used to sound like.
“What are we doing here, Levent,” she asks me putting her head over my shoulder.
“We’re just acting like we’re normal people, Mia,” I answer her.
“I know but I mean the two of us, how we’re acting,” she says.
“We’re just acting we’re okay Mia, don’t overthink it, just enjoy,” I assure her.
“But I’m scared,” she says and I knew she didn’t mean scared of Rex, she’s scared from the two of us and where we’re going.
“You don’t have to, the goddess has a plan, first we earn back our laughs, then we kill Rex, and next we’ll see how life takes us,” I assure her, placing my head over hers, just enjoying the moon light hitting the two of us.
